Matt Saunoras Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 They give the run around on so much warranty shit now it's unbelievable, my 6.4 fuel system claim is only now getting paid for and they're still fighting the low pump(which doesn't even run). I'm glad the hotline is stepping up and defending us. Any major warr repair I always put a hotline in, whether I need their help or not. The mount with the trans has a shitload of bearing material in the pan after about 10 miles of driving. The fluid reflects more light than a disco ball. Hotline says do pressure check it, do a cost cap, regardless of the result put a unit in it. So I'm redoing that one. Only looked at one other vehicle today.... a 05 4.0 explorer with an obvious misfire. cust states it's overheating and they already changed the thermostat and waterpump. let's see.... it's smoking white out of the tailpipe and the degas is empty oh yeah and I found a wynn's warranty brochure suspiciously laying in the center console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Now they want pics and maintenence records. The pics are no problem, the failure is obvious. The records are going to be this claims down fall. They have them but are not so regular. Sadly the failure was caused by the HPP leaking into the crankcase and you know the rest.

deezul Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Dusted down turbo on '02 7.3 that grinds/howls. Doesn't want to pay $1800 for a new one sooo, he's having me pull the turbo off his 7.3 Excursion and swap turbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriggs Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 08 6.4l, cavitated front cover, 12+Liters of coolant in oil, plugged oil cooler, 4 spun cage nuts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Both of those 4.0 heads have .012" warp between the cylinders, when I set the straight edge down I about laughed my head off. The shortblock looks fine even with all the coolant in the oil. The heads are going off to the machine shop tomorrow, if they can be fixed it'll go back together, if not it's getting a used engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 well the explorer is outside without an engine, diaged a 10 mariner with a p0735, something is definitely wrong with 5th, it's coming out tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 one head was out .015" and the other .013". they obviously can't be fixed, so now what? Surely I have no idea but something tells me the least desirable outcome is near possible outcomes in most favorable order 1. used engine 2. veh towed away with no engine 3. used cylinder heads 4. throw it back together and hope it atleast drives out of the parking lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbudge Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I have never seen one of those engines warp heads without a really good reason. If it was cooked that bad, the engine is scrap, IMHO. If you put it back together and the pistons rattle from collapsed skirts, along with the noisy cam chains, you are so married to it. Option 1 is ok as long as whoever is supplying it will stand behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbl35 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I remember when the 06's were fresh off the truck and the transporters would bring it over from the yard a few miles away pinging and the guage pinned and no coolant in the motor because of broken lower radiator hose clamps at the radiator. I never saw one with engine damage as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I gotta stop tearing apart these 6F35s with horse blinders on. I did the typical direct/OD replacement but I totally missed the intermediate was burned until I was going back together. Never saw that before, bottom of the one way was leopard spotted bad. If I remember I'll get a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchan68 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Finally have approval for long block. Been a few weeks. Now I get to put it all back together.This wasn't ESP by any chance was it? I have one an '06 in my bay right now for head gaskets. After a week of back and forth contact with WEPA, they decided to send an inspector out. Even the inspector himself was wondering why he was even sent in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it took so long is they kept "losing or couldn't properly see" the pictures we sent. After 2 weeks of taking pictures and messing with wrong Email addresses, we got approval. Then it took a week to get the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbl35 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 2011 f150 lariat 3.4l ecoboost. This thing is sweeet! It had a safety inspection and the customers picking it up in the morning and got it parked in the shop. 93 crown vic heatercore replacement, started at 5 and finished at 9. The core was fine but my customer insisted it was bad because of a little water on the passenger side under the dash. He said he smelled a coolant smell. He brought his own core from autozone. Im going to run a hose over the windsheild in the morning. Also got a mis at idle that goes away on accel that he didnt even care to complain about but tells me next time he comes here he wants me to repair/replace what evers needed to get his a/c working. and wants me to see why it's missing when i texted him about it. 94 t-bird 4.6l just sitting here, overheats after half a mile, needs left cyl. head and possibly right. customer is undecided what to do and problobly will take another few months to reach a decision. Just finihed upper alternator replacement and lower alt. harness replacement on 06 e350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselD Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Nothing in my bays now feels pretty damn good but a odd feeling!!..... actually at the moment my makeshift bays consist of two trucks, one getting shocks, steering stuff,prndl, airbox and some mild welding. the other is a newly built 2011 I need to apply decals and a license plate to put into service I will take some pics of my "new" shop compared to my "old" shop.
